OPERATING NOTES01–03

What this tool checks—and what it does not.

  1. Local analysis

    The supplied value is processed in the active tab. Remote endpoint behavior is not inferred when the evidence does not contain it.

  2. Evidence before advice

    The report separates observed fields from implementation guidance. Preserve request IDs and provider error codes for production incidents.

  3. Version-aware verification

    Provider behavior changes. Each related field note links to the official source used for the current rule.

THE RULES BEHIND THIS TOOL03 NOTES

Why it decided that.

Each note states the rule this workbench applies and cites the provider or standards document it came from.

FAQ

About this workbench

Does the openapi impact diff upload my data?

No. The value you supply is parsed and evaluated in the active browser tab. No account is required and no remote endpoint is called on your behalf.

What does this tool read, and what does it return?

It reads base and candidate openapi json, and returns breaking, risky, and additive change ledger.

How current are the rules it applies?

Each rule links to the field note that cites its primary provider or standards source, with the review date shown on that note. Provider behaviour changes, so verify against your pinned version before deploying.
